Hey you guys don't have to like me, or respect my opinion... and let's face it, it would be disingenuous and disrespectful to you to not react honestly. I think you're both wrong. I think you're blinkered and lack objective reasoning. That's OK though, that's what a debate is about, and sometimes people will clash personality wise. I'm sure you consider me excessively forceful and arrogant.

All the same, thank you for the debate, and I do still respect you as people... but it's nonsense to say we have to respect each others opinions. I can't however stay on a site that gives 3 day bans because you're slightly impolite. It's ridiculous, and it's treating us all like children.

Thanks again. (I'm shocked this account hasn't been banned yet).


Of course, then there's the thing about true objectiveness not being possible as humans are all flawed. But that's an even more deep analysis into it that, ironic enough, it is subjective.


I would genuinely like to discuss this with you more. Honestly. It's only worth having a debate after all if we disagree... however if we continue this discussion it'll just get heated and I got a 1 day ban for literally telling someone to stop flaming. I didn't even swear. I can't hold down a debate with such pathetic nanny-state restrictions trying to legislate politeness on the members. Debates by their very nature are not polite. Even if in three days when my main account is unblocked I came back, I'd be back mere minutes before I got yet another ridiculous ban.

I'm almost 30 years old, I don't need someone policing my discussions. My feelings aren't so delicate I can't take it if you call me a closed minded arrogant prick, and I'm sure you can handle it if I call you a stupid fanboy who can't admit the truth... I respect you enough to assume you can handle a mean word. If you don't want to debate me, you wouldn't respond. We're both perfectly capable of walking away, we don't need moderators to tell us to behave. Their job is to stop illegal content, child porn, spam etc. not make us be nice to each other. That's the problem.

Still, it was good while it lasted.
